世界头发最长老汉去世 生前蓄发6.8米
A Vietnamese man who died this week and whose hair was so long it resembled a boa constrictor, may have had the world's longest mane, according to reports. The exact length of Tran Van Hay's unwashed hair was unclear but the Vietnam News said it was 6.8 metres long (over 22 feet). The Thanh Nien daily said Hay's matted locks were measured at 6.2 metres in 2006.(Agencies)

A Vietnamese man who was thought to have the world's longest hair has died.

The exact length of Tran Van Hay's unwashed hair was unclear but some estimates put it as long as 6.8 metres.

China's Xie Qiuping is on record as having the world's longest hair, measured at 5.6 metres in 2004, according to the Guinness World Records.

Hay began to let his hair grow more than 50 years ago because he often got sick after a haircut, the Vietnam News quoted his wife, Nguyen Thi Hoa, as saying.

Media reports said he lived a simple life as a herbalist, but his hair could complicate things. Reports said no motorcycle taxi would carry him because he could not wear a helmet. In the daytime he balanced his hair on his head like a basket, protected by a scarf.

Hay, whose hair weighed several pounds, died at home Wednesday in the southern province of Kien Giang at the age of 79, Vietnam News said.

被认为拥有全世界最长头发的越南老汉陈文海近日去世。

陈文海的头发常年不洗,其头发的确切长度不得而知,但据估计有6.8米。

据《吉尼斯世界纪录》,此前中国人谢秋萍被认为是全世界头发最长记录保持者,2004年她的发长达到5.6米。

《越南新闻》援引陈文海妻子阮氏华的话称,陈文海50多年没剪过头发,因为他一理发就生病。

据媒体报道,陈文海生前是一名采药人,过着简朴的生活,不过他的长发也给他带来了诸多不便。报道称,由于头发太长无法戴头盔,所以没有“摩的”愿意搭载他。白天的时候,陈文海把头发盘在头上,用头巾包起来,看上去像顶着个篮子。

《越南新闻》报道称,陈文海的头发已达数磅之重,他于本周三在越南南部建江省的家中去世,享年79岁。
